Gatsby + Daisy = ?

Is this a love story now?

About a hundred pages in, the main, juicy story line presents itself. Finally Daisy and Gatsby meet. Again.

It's cute how nervous Gatsby is. He paces, pale faced, unable to concentrate while waiting for Daisy at his arranged "accidental" run in at Nick's house. What starts off in a very awkward and uncomfortable manner turns serious during the time that Nick excuses himself (why nick, why?). Nick returns to find Daisy's face streaked with tears and Gatsby as happy as a clam.

I can't image what could possibly have happened between the two that left Gatsby love struck for 5 years, without even seeing Daisy. And no, I'm not taking undying, meant to be, love for an answer. And I will be very disappointed if that actually is the answer.

However, it does seem that the two have a lot of chemistry between them. And if Tom is allowed a mistress then you too Miss Daisy have the right to be unfaithful.
